Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
After Wednesday’s full 10-game slate, there are only four games for Thursday. Boston and Minnesota will be playing their second games on the season, while it will be the season-opener for the rest. As for injuries, G Malcolm Brogdon (thumb), G Devin Vassell (foot) and C Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) are out. Only F Sam Hauser […]

The 49ers have been ravaged by injuries this season. That’s what happens when you make it to the Conference Championship three years in a row, then lose in the Super Bowl when you get there. The gods became displeased and are trying to vanquish the 49ers from the playoff race. Christian McCaffrey hasn’t played a […]

Week 8. It’s time to be Tony the Tiger “Greeeeeeaaaattttt!!” My heart goes out to those who live in a DFS-forbidden state. That truly makes me irate, but I have no doubt that the love is strong to induce travel across the interstate. Let us open the gate and see what players lie in wait, […]

Victor Wembanyama was the most hyped and anticipated prospect since LeBron James. And he not only delivered but added some rainbow sprinkles, cherries and whipped cream. This is just the beginning for Wembanyama, as he’s going to level up due to experience and maturity, but also because of the acquisition of Chris Paul. Paul is […]

Oh, baby. Hoops is back. The squeak of the sneakers. The bounce of the balls. The shrill of the whistles. The clanks from the rim. The glistening of the sweat. The copious amounts of space in the paint from 5-out offenses. Red Panda at halftime. “Baaaaang!”s from Breen. A new season is upon us, and […]

McConkey suffered a hip injury likely during Wednesday’s practice, as he was listed as “limited” during Thursday’s session. There’s been no mention of how the injury occured or the severity of it. With the Week 7 game on Monday night, McConkey does get an extra day to rest. I am working under the assumption that […]

That was with Justin Fields at quarterback, but Pickens said Russell Wilson will be under center in Week 7. During his rookie season, Pickens posted a […]

When Aaron Rodgers took his talents to New York last year, the screams of joy traveled from the subway vents on the sidewalks of NYC to the windows of one skyscraper to another. But then he suffered an Achilles injury on the first series and the season went kaput. The optimism popped up like a […]

This will be the easiest piece I’ve ever written, as the answer is absolutely NO! I kid I kid. Well, maybe not, but let me at least dig in a little bit. As with most things in life, it’s all about cost. And there have been some changes to the roster, from both trades and […]
